Yudit

Description

Yudit is a
free
Unicode plain-text editor for Unix-like systems. It is primarily
targeted for Linux, but a version is also provided for Windows and MacOS-X.
It was developed in the early days of Unicode on Linux, back in 1997.
Limitations in development time resulted in being minimal while
remaining useful.

This editor does not use external libraries, except for the
C library and a minimal set of windowing functions. This has helped
to make a quick port to platforms where there was no multilingual support.
This is also the reason why Yudit looks so ... unique :).

Nowadays, fortunately, Linux has better and better Unicode support,
so it might be easy to build an editor on top of Qt or GTK/Pango. Still,
you might find Yudit useful if you want to dig deeper into Unicode text.
You can also add a new script if you are willing
to look at Yudit's c++ source code, which, while needing a
complete rewrite, has everything in one place.

There might be more documentation in the coming years, which can
help you configure and use Yudit. Please feel free to tell me if
you have any difficulty or if you have any documents you wish
to see here.

Features

Keymaps based on English transliteration.
Yudit comes with more than 100 transliteration maps contributed by
Yudit users from all over the World.

Keyboard input maps can be used as
text converters.
This means that you can make instant transliterations of your scripts.
If the transliterations is reversible, it is possible to read it back
get the original text back.

Various local encodings can also be converted
to Unicode. The recommended encoding is UTF-8.
